Well I've read the whole thread. I've been a treeman for 34 years, started my career with a utility tree trimming crew similar to Asplundh. Did that for about 6 years before getting trained and moved on to general tree care and contract climbing. This is in the US not Canada. With the utility I worked for it was not uncommon to have private lines. Homes back off of the main road. How we could tell is that all utility poles owned by the power company have pole numbers on them. We would go up a line to the last pole with numbers and one additional span. After that it was on the customer. Maybe your utility uses a similar situation. Here we do schedule line outages with our utility, this mainly is for service drops from their pole to a house. Never do they do an outage that affects more than one customer. They either sleeve the wire or trim to provide 10 feet of clearance. Often called trim for removal so that a competent contractor can trim or remove the tree safely. I doubt they would do either of these for a private line as that is the customers responsibility. A responsible contractor such as the one I work for probably would not schedule an outage for this work, especially if we could use a bucket truck on the trees in question. Sorry so long winded, check for pole number and you will have a better idea on who owns what, John.
